Project Exchange

Driving Question  What's this?

1. How is status represented in Macbeth, and how do status roles change throughout the play?
2. How have Shakespeare's plays been interpreted throughout the ages? 3. What themes of Macbeth are relevant to modern society?

With this unit and culminating project, my colleague Ted and I hoped to communicate the relevance that Shakespeare still has in today's modern society. We decided to teach this notion of relevance by using the following three focus areas as our foundation: status roles, varying interpretations of Macbeth, and thematic analysis.
